"I received an MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Depth and Jungian psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I work from a person-centered approach, emphasizing the building of a safe, supportive relationship with my clients that allows them to connect to their innate healing process.

While I see clients at every stage of life, much of my clinical focus has been on working with clients who are sitting with the deep and existential questions of aging, identity, chronic illness, and end-of-life decisions."

"Laura helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, binge eating disorder, emotional eating, food addiction and weight loss.

She developed "Beyond Overeating" workshops to help men and women struggling with binge eating disorder, obesity, weight loss and maintenance."
